This handmade, sterling silver pendant is made with a natural stone cabochon. The cabochon is a very rare Crown of Silver Psilomelane druzy from Mexico. The mine is closed now with no more material being mined from this, the best, location. Psilomelane is also called Merlinite and, for obvious reasons, Black Malachite. There is a typical psilomealne pattern on the back, which is polished, but the front is covered with fine druzy which sparkles and twinkles like stars in the black night sky.

I made this wire wrapped setting with heavy sterling silver wire. I made a very secure and deceptively simple setting with hand made prongs.
